yeah.. I mean mostly I can’t imagine squatting and digging in the dirt, running etc naked. Even if I had the hot body I had when I was 20. It’s mostly bad-naked. (at least in the regular show which I liked watching when I had time).

As someone who has been interacting in online message boards for... dear god 30 years, seeing this sort of back and forth resolution after an initially heated interaction is the kind of thing that nearly brings tears to my eyes (I’m guessing old lady hormones aren’t helping).

Have fun. I’m sure you are already gone, but I’ll leave a helpful tip/hack for anyone interested that is an occasional camper, or owns a headlamp and has a power outage in their home.

counter point:

I can see this being useful for certain ingredients, but my flour and sugar are stored in bulk containers that wouldn’t work great on my scale. But they probably don’t weigh too much. My old scale couldn’t tare certain bowls I used because they weighed too much. Which is another point, you should probably err on the…

I will say, trying to bathe a child in a bathtub that has doors is a pain in the butt. So keep that in mind if it might be pertinent to you.

I’m sorry. You definitely read me incorrectly. I agree with everything you said. Including that these things are crimes and the police and prosecutors should be subject to prosecution for the things they do that cause people to lose years/decades of their lives.

It would be pretty amazing if every city (unrealistic to think that every small jurisdiction could do it) created a Conviction integrity unit, and more importantly actually gave it power and funding (and had leadership support behind it). Particularly because after conviction people lose their right to representation…

We did not alter our son’s “piss shield” and I can promise you, when he was under 8 months as soon as a diaper came off, pee was up. The time he peed in his own face made me feel a little bad but did not stop me from laughing.

This reminds me of my favorite catastrophic changing event in our family.

Ha before I read the article I was like... This looks like Smitten Kitchen’s zucchini sauce that I’ve planned on trying as soon as neighbors overflow with zucchini.

I think the biggest issue in diagnosing ADHD in girls is mostly that the behaviors that stand out (with respect to hyperactivity) tend to be more socially acceptable in general, in addition to girls being socialized to not make waves. For example impulse control/executive function: It is easier for teachers to just…

Exactly. The only reasons I want Simone Biles to be in a competition is because: 1. She feels good about being there. 2. She is amazing to watch. But it’s not amazingly enjoyable to watch someone excel so far, when it doesn’t also come with knowing they are doing it because they want to.

Wow...

I also always have two sides in my head. Like there is really no excuse for killing someone in cold blood. But also, so many people are forced to grow up and live in situations that are so dehumanizing and desperate, and see and endure so many barbaric acts, that performing a similarly barbaric act doesn’t seem like…

Yeah, when I read the article the first time, I was super interested. Then I was like... I wouldn’t call my cousin (an average joe full-time working actor in movies, commercials, small recurring roles on various shows) a Law and Order Actor... though he was was in two episodes of L&O over the years... 

I’ll sign my kids up for soccer.

I have a slightly related comment that shows it is possible for youth sports organizations to take a long-view on safety. And treat it seriously enough that they impose rules that attempt to delay the introduction of parts of the game that cause chronic impacts to the head. Hopefully reducing the long term impact.

don’t know why I came on this post radomly late, but I read all the comments curious to see if anyone mentioned my local grocery store. Not because *I* wouldn’t go there, but just out of grim curiosity.

Yeah I have a social anxiety disorder. It makes me absurdly polite, very self-conscious, overly concerned with impinging on anyone else’s personal space. These kinds of things aren’t great if you want to function efficiently in the world. However, they give me a nearly, but not QUITE, superhuman awareness of my…
